[0047] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments derived by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Conveyor lines primarily transport materials. Conveyor chains, consisting of numerous belt conveyors and roller conveyors, are installed around warehouses, production halls, and packaging facilities. These conveyor chains are connected end-to-end to form a continuous conveyor line. All materials, parts, components, and finished products used in the production process must be placed on pallets labeled with barcodes before entering the conveyor system. To ensure production efficiency and material cleanliness, the conveyor line must be regularly cleaned of debris, dust, and other foreign matter.

[0049] In the related art, when the conveyor line needs to be cleaned, cleaning staff bring tools such as brushes and rags to manually clean the conveyor line, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and affecting the production capacity of the conveyor line.

[0050] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic cleaning device for a conveyor line and a conveying system. By placing the automatic cleaning device for the conveyor line on a running conveyor line, the dust suction port of the automatic cleaning device for the conveyor line faces the conveyor line and there is a gap between the conveyor line and the conveyor line, the automatic cleaning device for the conveyor line can be turned on to clean the conveyor line. When the automatic cleaning device for the conveyor line is stopped at a first preset position on the running path of the conveyor line, the conveyor line can be continuously cleaned, thereby realizing integrated and automated cleaning of the conveyor line, improving cleaning efficiency, and helping to ensure the production capacity of the conveyor line.

[0051] The following describes in detail the automatic cleaning device and conveying system of the conveyor line provided by the embodiment of the present invention through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic cleaning device for a conveyor line (hereinafter referred to as the automatic cleaning device), which is used to automatically clean the conveyor line 100.

[0053] In specific implementation, the automatic cleaning device can be used to automatically clean conveyor lines such as belt conveyor lines and roller conveyor lines.

[0054] When the conveyor line 100 is cleaned by the automatic cleaning device of this embodiment, there is no need to stop the conveyor line 100. The running conveyor line 100 (for example, the conveyor line 100 is in production) can be cleaned online automatically, which helps to ensure the conveying efficiency and production capacity of the conveyor line 100.

[0055] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the automatic cleaning device includes a base 1 , a cleaning structure 2 and a controller 3 .

[0056] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is used to be placed on the conveyor line 100, and the cleaning structure 2 is provided on the base 1. The cleaning structure 2 has a dust suction port 24 facing the conveyor line 100, and a dust suction gap is formed between the dust suction port 24 and the conveyor line 100. The cleaning structure 2 is electrically connected to the controller 3. The controller 3 is used to drive the cleaning structure 2 to operate when the base 1 is stopped at a first preset position on the running path of the conveyor line 100, so as to at least allow foreign matter on the area where the conveyor line 100 passes through the first preset position to enter the cleaning structure 2 through the dust suction port 24, thereby cleaning the conveyor line 100 in operation.

[0057] By setting up a controller 3, setting up a cleaning structure 2 on the base 1, and electrically connecting the cleaning structure 2 to the controller 3, the working state of the cleaning structure 2 can be controlled by the controller 3, such as opening, closing, switching of working gears, etc. of the cleaning structure 2, which is more convenient to use.

[0058] During specific use, the base 1 carrying the cleaning structure 2 is placed on the conveyor line 100, and the dust suction port 24 of the cleaning structure 2 is facing the conveyor line 100, and there is a dust suction gap between the dust suction port 24 and the conveyor line 100. After the cleaning structure 2 is turned on by the controller 3, a negative pressure is formed inside the cleaning structure 2 and in the area between the dust suction port 24 and the conveyor line 100. In this way, at least debris, dust and other foreign matter on the corresponding area of ​​the conveyor line 100 and the dust suction port 24 can enter the cleaning structure 2 from the dust suction port 24 under the action of the negative pressure, that is, the foreign matter on the conveyor line 100 is sucked into the cleaning structure 2, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the conveyor line 100. Compared with the solution in the prior art in which cleaning personnel bring brushes 5, rags and other tools to manually clean the conveyor line 100, this saves labor costs, improves cleaning efficiency, and helps to ensure the production capacity of the conveyor line.

[0059] It should be noted that when the base 1 is stopped at the first preset position on the running path of the conveyor line 100 , the position of the base 1 at the first preset position remains unchanged.

[0060] In addition, the first preset position is a preset position on the running path of the conveyor line 100, but the specific position is not limited.

[0061] When the conveyor line 100 needs to be cleaned as a whole, the base 1 is stopped at the first preset position on the running path of the conveyor line 100, the cleaning structure 2 is turned on, and the conveyor line 100 is kept running. For example, the conveyor line 100 is in a production state. At this time, the automatic cleaning device is stationary at the first preset position relative to the running conveyor line 100. During the operation of the conveyor line 100, its extension direction (i.e., the length direction of the conveyor line 100, reference Figure 1 Different areas on the X direction (in the ) pass through the automatic cleaning device in turn and are cleaned by the automatic cleaning device.

[0062] After the base 1 is stopped at the first preset position, the position of the base 1 at the first preset position remains unchanged. Since the conveyor line 100 remains in operation, different areas of the conveyor line 100 in its extension direction can pass through the automatic cleaning device in sequence during operation, so that debris, dust and other foreign matter on different areas of the conveyor line 100 gradually enter the cleaning structure 2, realizing continuous automatic cleaning of the conveyor line 100, with a relatively high degree of automation and cleaning efficiency, and a good cleaning effect.

[0063] When cleaning the conveyor line 100, the automatic cleaning device of this embodiment can be placed directly at the first preset position, or it can be placed upstream of the first preset position, so that the automatic cleaning device moves to the first preset position and is stopped under the drive of the conveyor line.

[0064] In some implementations, the automatic cleaning device is directly placed at the first preset position.

[0065] At this time, as long as the automatic cleaning device is started to work, the automatic cleaning device can perform an integrated automatic cleaning operation on the conveyor line 100.

[0066] In other implementations, the automatic cleaning device is placed upstream of the first preset position (ie, the position on the running path of the conveyor line at a certain moment before the automatic cleaning device reaches the first preset position).

[0067] At this time, the automatic cleaning device will be driven by the conveyor line 100 and move to the first preset position and be stopped at the first preset position. After the automatic cleaning device is started to work, the conveyor line 100 can be automatically cleaned as a whole.

[0068] The first preset position is not unique on the running path of the conveyor line 100, so that the automatic cleaning device can stop and go on the conveyor line to perform automatic cleaning operations.

[0069] It should be noted that the automatic cleaning device can be started before being placed on the conveyor line, or it can be started after the automatic cleaning device is placed on the conveyor line. There is no order in which to start the automatic cleaning device and place it on the conveyor line.

[0070] In specific implementation, the conveyor line 100 is usually arranged around a warehouse, production workshop or packaging workshop through supporting equipment. When the base 1 moves along the conveyor line 100, the base 1 can be stopped at the first preset position by, for example, a component located at the first preset position on the supporting equipment (such as a stopping part for stopping the material pallet).

[0071] Of course, in his implementation method, a bracket for hanging or fixing the base 1 can also be set at a first preset position on the running path of the conveyor line 100 in the workshop where the conveyor line 100 is located, and the base 1 can be directly fixed at the first preset position through the bracket.

[0072] When the base 1 is stopped by the stopping member on the supporting device, the automatic cleaning device can not only clean the conveyor line 100, but also allow debris, dust and other foreign matter on the supporting device of the conveyor line 100 to a certain extent to enter the cleaning structure 2 through the dust suction port 24, thereby also playing a certain cleaning role on the supporting device of the conveyor line 100.

[0073] In some implementations, the controller 3 may be disposed on the base 1 , for example.

[0074] The cleaning structure 2 and the controller 3 can be electrically connected, for example, via a wire harness. Of course, the cleaning structure 2 and the controller 3 can also be electrically connected by wireless connection.

[0075] In other implementations, the controller 3 may be, for example, an independent handheld controller, or the controller 3 may be installed on a supporting device of the conveyor line 100 .

[0076] The following embodiments are described by taking the controller 3 being arranged on the base 1 as an example.

[0077] During the production process, materials, parts, components, and finished products are typically placed on pallets labeled with barcodes and placed on conveyor lines. These pallets typically move along the conveyor line in a stop-and-go pattern. It's important to note that the automatic cleaning device's stops and starts are synchronized with the pallets' movements during operation, preventing collisions between them and the conveyor, ensuring safe cleaning.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the dust collection gap between the dust collection port 24 and the conveyor line 100 can be, for example, 3 to 10 mm.

[0079] The automatic cleaning device for a conveyor line provided in this embodiment is provided with a base 1, and a cleaning structure 2 and a controller 3 are provided on the base 1. The base 1 is used to be placed on the conveyor line 100, and the cleaning structure 2 has a dust suction port 24 facing the conveyor line 100, and there is a dust suction gap between the dust suction port 24 and the conveyor line 100. In addition, the cleaning structure 2 is electrically connected to the controller 3, and the controller 3 is used to drive the cleaning structure 2 to work when the base 1 is stopped at the first preset position, so as to at least allow foreign matter on the running conveyor line 100 to enter the cleaning structure 2 through the dust suction port 24. During specific use, the base 1 carrying the cleaning structure 2 and the controller 3 is placed on the conveyor line 100, and the controller 3 is turned on so that the controller 3 drives the cleaning structure 2 to work, and the cleaning structure 2 can automatically clean the conveyor line 100. The base 1 is stopped at the first preset position, the position of the automatic cleaning device remains unchanged, and the conveyor line 100 maintains normal operation. In this way, while the conveyor line 100 is running materials, the cleaning structure 2 can continuously and automatically clean the conveyor line 100, thereby achieving integrated and automatic cleaning of the conveyor line 100 without stopping the conveyor line 100, ensuring the production capacity of the conveyor line 100. In addition, it also saves labor costs and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0080] At the same time, since the conveyor line 100 is usually arranged in a long-distance ring, a double-layer compact arrangement, a high-altitude arrangement, etc., it is easy for cleaning personnel in the existing technology to have accidents such as bumps and falls when performing manual cleaning. Therefore, the automatic cleaning device of this embodiment is used to automatically clean the conveyor line 100. Compared with manual cleaning, it can avoid the occurrence of accidents such as bumps and falls by cleaning personnel to a certain extent, thereby effectively reducing the operational risks.

[0081] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, there are at least two dust suction ports 24, and at least two dust suction ports 24 are at least along the width direction of the conveying line 100 (refer to Figure 1That is to say, the automatic cleaning device is provided with at least two dust suction ports 24 spaced apart along the width direction of the conveyor line 100. In this way, dust suction ports 24 can be arranged at different positions in the width direction of the conveyor line 100. Each dust suction port 24 can suck in foreign matter such as debris and dust, thereby widening the dust suction area, increasing the dust suction paths, and achieving better cleaning effects and higher cleaning efficiency.

[0082] For specific implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor line 100 includes two conveyor belts 101 that are opposite and spaced apart. Each conveyor belt 101 corresponds to at least one dust suction port 24. This ensures that both sides of the conveyor line 100 can be cleaned simultaneously, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0083] For example, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, each conveyor belt 101 corresponds to two dust suction ports 24, and the two dust suction ports 24 corresponding to each conveyor belt 101 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the conveyor line 100, further improving the dust suction effect and efficiency.

[0084] Furthermore, the two dust suction ports 24 corresponding to each conveyor belt 101 are staggered along the width direction of the conveyor line 100. This increases the dust suction area of ​​the conveyor belt 101 in its running direction without increasing the number of dust suction ports 24, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0085] In other embodiments, the conveyor line may be, for example, a roller conveyor line. By arranging a plurality of suction ports 24 along the width direction of the conveyor line 100 , different positions of the roller may be cleaned.

[0086] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, there are at least two dust suction ports 24, and at least two dust suction ports 24 are spaced apart along the length direction of the conveyor line 100, and two adjacent dust suction ports 24 are staggered in the width direction of the conveyor line 100. In this way, when the number of dust suction ports 24 is the same, the dust suction area of ​​the conveyor belt 101 in its running direction is increased, so that the cleaning effect is better.

[0087] For example, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor line 100 includes two conveyor belts 101 that are opposite and spaced apart. Each conveyor belt 101 corresponds to at least two dust suction ports 24. The two dust suction ports 24 of each conveyor belt 101 are spaced apart along the length direction of the conveyor line 100 and staggered in the width direction of the conveyor line 100.

[0088] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning structure 2 includes a connected dust collection body 21 and a connecting pipe 22. The dust collection body 21 is arranged on the base 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 3. The dust collection port 24 is connected to the end of the connecting pipe 22 away from the dust collection body 21. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0089] In some implementations, the dust collecting body 21 may be, for example, a vacuum cleaner.

[0090] In a specific implementation, the dust collection body 21 and the connecting pipe 22 can be arranged above the base 1, so that when performing cleaning operations, the dust collection body 21 and the connecting pipe 22 will not interfere with the operation of the conveyor line 100, thereby improving safety.

[0091] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, each dust suction body 21 may have a dust suction port 24 .

[0092] Of course, in other implementations, each dust collecting body 21 may also have multiple dust collecting ports 24, for example, each dust collecting body 21 may have two dust collecting ports 24. Figure 1 The two dust suction ports 24 of each conveyor belt 101 shown can be realized by the same dust suction body 21 .

[0093] In some implementations, the connecting tube 22 can be, for example, a hose, which is convenient for assembly. At the same time, during cleaning operations, the hose can use its own flexibility to buffer the vibrations generated by suction, thereby preventing the base 1 from shaking on the conveyor line 100 to a certain extent, making it more stable during cleaning operations.

[0094] In some embodiments, the vacuum body 21 and the connecting tube 22 are detachably connected, making installation and disassembly easy. Thus, if one of the vacuum body 21 and the connecting tube 22 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the damaged one can be replaced by disassembling the two without having to replace both the vacuum body 21 and the connecting tube 22, thus saving operating costs to a certain extent. Furthermore, it is convenient to clean foreign matter collected in the vacuum body 21.

[0095] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a bracket 4 is provided on the base 1 , and the bracket 4 has a clamping cavity with an opening toward the dust collecting body 21 , and the dust collecting body 21 is detachably connected to the clamping cavity.

[0096] The dust collector body 21 is connected to the base 1 via the bracket 4 , making it easier to assemble the dust collector body 21 on the base 1 .

[0097] Furthermore, the dust collecting body 21 is detachably connected to the clamping cavity, so that if the dust collecting body 21 is damaged, the dust collecting body 21 can be removed from the bracket 4 and replaced and repaired, which is convenient for replacement and repair. At the same time, it is convenient to clean the foreign matter collected in the dust collecting body 21, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning operations.

[0098] In some implementations, the bracket 4 can be connected to the base 1 by bolts, etc., which is convenient for installation and removal. Of course, in other implementations, the bracket can also be welded to the base.

[0099] In a specific implementation, the shape of the clamping cavity can, for example, match the shape of the dust collecting body 21 , so that the connection stability of the dust collecting body 21 on the bracket 4 is higher.

[0100] In some implementations, the bracket 4 may include, for example, a C-shaped clamping ring. Of course, in other implementations, the bracket may include, for example, a clamp.

[0101] In a specific implementation, the bracket 4 can be, for example, a plastic bracket, which has a certain elastic deformation ability, so as to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the dust collector body 21.

[0102] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two brackets 4, and at least two brackets 4 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the dust collector body 21. In this way, the dust collector body 21 can be connected to the base 1 through multiple brackets 4, which improves the structural stability of the dust collector body 21 and further avoids the base 1 from shaking on the conveyor line 100, making it more stable during cleaning operations.

[0103] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning structure 2 also includes a connecting elbow 23, which is passed through the base 1, and the two ends of the connecting elbow 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 1, and the end of the connecting elbow 23 facing away from the conveying line 100 is connected to the connecting pipe 22, and the end of the connecting elbow 23 facing the conveying line 100 is connected to the dust suction port 24.

[0104] By providing a connecting elbow 23 between the connecting pipe 22 and the dust suction port 24, the connecting elbow 23 is passed through the base 1, and the two ends of the connecting elbow 23 are respectively arranged on both sides in the height direction of the base 1. In this way, the dust suction port 24 can be arranged on the side of the base 1 away from the dust suction body 21 and the connecting pipe 22. For example, the connecting pipe 22 and the dust suction body 21 are arranged above the base 1, and the dust suction port 24 is arranged below the base 1. The layout is flexible and reasonable, and the assembly is convenient. At the same time, the connecting elbow 23 has a certain supporting effect on the connecting pipe 22, making the structure of the connecting pipe 22 relatively stable, thereby making the automatic cleaning device more stable during cleaning operations.

[0105] In a specific implementation, the connecting elbow 23 can be connected to the base 1 by a bolt or the like.

[0106] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 22 and the connecting elbow 23 are detachably connected, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, facilitates replacement and maintenance, and helps save costs.

[0107] In some embodiments, the connecting elbow 23 and the dust suction port 24 are detachably connected, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, facilitates replacement and maintenance, and helps save costs.

[0108] In a specific implementation, the dust suction body 21, the connecting pipe 22, the connecting elbow 23, and the dust suction port 24 connected in sequence can be connected together in a detachable manner.

[0109] In some implementations, the base 1 can move along the running path of the conveying line 100.

[0110] For example, a plurality of first preset positions can be provided on the running path of the conveying line 100, so that the automatic cleaning device can stop and start on the conveying line 100 to realize automatic cleaning of the conveying line, which is more convenient for cleaning.

[0111] In addition, the base 1 is provided with a first sensing module 8, and the running path of the conveying line 100 is provided with a second sensing module (not shown), which is used in cooperation with the first sensing module 8 to adjust the movement path of the base 1 when the base 1 is detected.

[0112] The second sensing module cooperates with the first sensing module 8 to adjust the movement path of the base 1 when the base 1 is detected, which can be understood as that the second sensing module cooperates with the first sensing module 8 to allow the base 1 to pass through at the second preset position where the second sensing module is located, or to continue moving along the movement path.

[0113] By providing the first sensing module 8 on the base 1 and the second sensing module at the second preset position on the running path of the conveying line 100, when the automatic cleaning device moves to the second preset position where the second sensing module is located under the driving of the conveying line 100, the first sensing module 8 and the second sensing module are inducted, for example, allowing the automatic cleaning device to pass through at the second preset position, so that the associated process equipment is not triggered to work when the tray passes through, thereby improving the automation degree of the automatic cleaning device and facilitating the realization of the dumb cleaning operation.

[0114] In a specific implementation, the first sensing module 8 can be a sensor.

[0115] It should be noted that when the first sensing module 8 and the second sensing module cooperate in sensing, the movement path of the base 1 can be adjusted, for example, by the conveyor line's Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Of course, the movement path of the base 1 can also be adjusted by a cleaning system electrically connected to the automatic cleaning device.

[0116] In some implementations, the first sensing module 8 is disposed near an edge of the base 1 facing the second sensing module, thereby shortening the sensing distance between the first sensing module 8 and the second sensing module and improving the sensing accuracy.

[0117] In some embodiments, the shape of the base 1 matches the shape of the tray for carrying materials on the conveyor line 100, so that the base 1 can move with the movement of the conveyor line 100. In this way, the automatic cleaning device can move under the drive of the conveyor line 100, such as moving to the next first preset position, so that the automatic cleaning device can stop and go on the conveyor line 100, thereby performing automated cleaning operations on the conveyor line 100 at different positions along the conveyor line 100's running path, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and improving cleaning effects. At the same time, different positions of the supporting equipment can also be cleaned.

[0118] refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a brush 5 is provided at the suction port 24, and the brush 5 is used to abut against the conveyor line 100, so that when the conveyor line 100 is running, the brush 5 can scrape the conveyor line 100 and clean foreign matter stuck on the conveyor line 100, so as to achieve better cleaning effect and higher cleaning efficiency.

[0119] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the dust suction port 24 is located below the base 1 and above the conveyor line 100. In this way, the dust suction port 24 is located between the base 1 and the conveyor line 100, so that the base 1 has a certain protective effect on the dust suction port 24, thereby avoiding the dust suction port 24 from being exposed and bumped, and extending the service life of the dust suction port 24 to a certain extent.

[0120] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a button 31 is provided on the controller 3, and the button 31 is used to control the working state of the cleaning structure 2. In this way, the cleaning structure 2 can be opened, closed, and the working gear is switched through the button 31, which is convenient to operate.

[0121] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, a handle 9 is provided on the base 1 so that an operator can hold the handle 9 and carry the automatic cleaning device more conveniently.

[0122] In a specific implementation, two handles 9 can be provided on the base 1, for example. The two handles 9 can be arranged on the base 1 opposite to each other and spaced apart along the running direction of the conveyor line 100, so as to facilitate placing the automatic cleaning device on the conveyor line 100 or removing it from the conveyor line 100.

[0123] In some embodiments, the automatic cleaning device further includes a first detector connected to the cleaning structure 2. The cleaning structure 2 has a dust collection chamber therein. The first detector is electrically connected to the controller 3 and is configured to detect the pressure within the dust collection chamber. The controller 3 is configured to shut down the cleaning structure 2 when the pressure detected by the first detector is less than a first preset threshold.

[0124] By setting up a first detector, and the first detector can detect the pressure in the dust suction chamber, when the pressure in the dust suction chamber is insufficient, for example, when there are too many foreign objects in the dust suction chamber and insufficient space, the controller 3 can close the cleaning structure 2 in time, thereby avoiding the occurrence of cleaning failure to a certain extent and improving the convenience of use.

[0125] In a specific implementation, the first detector may be, for example, a pressure sensor.

[0126] In some implementations, the first detector may be connected, for example, between the dust collecting body 21 and the connecting pipe 22. Of course, in other implementations, the first detector may also be connected, for example, between the connecting pipe and the connecting elbow.

[0127] In some embodiments, the automatic cleaning device further includes an alarm electrically connected to the controller 3 , and the controller 3 is configured to control the alarm to sound an alarm when the pressure detected by the first detector is less than a first preset threshold.

[0128] By setting up an alarm and electrically connecting the alarm to the controller 3, when the first detector detects that the pressure in the dust suction chamber is less than the first preset threshold value, the controller 3 drives the alarm to sound an alarm, so that the operator can pay attention and understand in time that the pressure in the dust suction chamber is insufficient, further avoiding the occurrence of cleaning failure and improving the cleaning effect.

[0129] In a specific implementation, when the first detector detects that the pressure in the dust suction chamber is less than a first preset threshold, the alarm can emit a preset alarm tone to facilitate identification by the operator.

[0130] In some embodiments, the automatic cleaning device further includes a display, which is electrically connected to at least the first detector and is configured to display at least status information of the cleaning structure 2 .

[0131] By setting up a display and electrically connecting the display to the first detector, signal operation is achieved between the two, so that the operator can intuitively understand the status information of the cleaning structure 2 through the display, which is convenient for coordinating safe cleaning work and helps to improve work efficiency.

[0132] The status information of the cleaning structure 2 may include, for example, the pressure in the dust suction chamber, the remaining capacity of the dust suction chamber, and the like.

[0133] In some implementations, the base 1 is provided with a signal delivery module 6 , for example, and the display can realize signal operation with the first detector through the signal delivery module 6 to display status information of the cleaning structure 2 .

[0134] In some embodiments, a filter is provided at the entrance of the dust suction chamber, and the filter is detachably connected to the dust suction chamber for easy replacement or maintenance.

[0135] The first detector detects the pressure in the dust collection chamber, which also reflects the filtering performance of the filter to a certain extent.

[0136] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the automatic cleaning device also includes a power module 7, which is electrically connected to the cleaning structure 2. The power module 7 is used to supply power to the cleaning structure 2. On the one hand, it improves the battery life of the automatic cleaning device, and at the same time facilitates the automatic cleaning device to move on the conveyor line 100 and perform automatic cleaning operations at different positions of the supporting equipment, thereby achieving better cleaning effects.

[0137] In some implementations, the automatic cleaning device also includes a second detector connected to the power module 7, the second detector is electrically connected to the controller 3, and is used to detect the power level of the power module 7, and the controller 3 is used to control the power module 7 to stop supplying power to the cleaning structure 2 when the power level detected by the second detector is less than a second preset threshold.

[0138] By setting up a second detector, and the second detector can detect the power level of the power module 7, when the power level of the power module 7 is insufficient, the controller 3 can shut down the cleaning structure 2 in time, further avoiding the occurrence of cleaning failure and improving the convenience of use.

[0139] In specific implementation, the second detector may be, for example, a power sensor.

[0140] In some embodiments, the automatic cleaning device further includes an alarm electrically connected to the controller 3 , and the controller 3 is configured to control the alarm to sound an alarm when the amount of electricity detected by the second detector is less than a second preset threshold.

[0141] The alarm is electrically connected with the second detector, so that when the electric quantity detected by the second detector is less than the second preset threshold, the controller 3 drives the alarm to alarm, so that the operator can pay attention to and know the electric quantity of the power module 7 in time, and the phenomenon of cleaning failure is further avoided, and the cleaning effect is improved.

[0142] In specific implementation, when the second detector detects that the electric quantity of the power module 7 is less than the second preset threshold, the alarm can send a preset alarm prompt sound, which is convenient for the operator to identify.

[0143] In some embodiments, the automatic cleaning device further comprises a display, which is electrically connected with the second detector at least, and the display is used to display the state information of the power module 7 at least.

[0144] The display is electrically connected with the second detector, and signal transmission is realized therebetween, so that the operator can intuitively know the state information of the power module 7, such as the electric quantity and endurance time of the power module 7, which is convenient for the operator to replace the power module 7 with insufficient electric quantity in time, so as to plan the safety cleaning work and improve the work efficiency.

[0145] In some implementations, the base 1 is provided with a signal delivery module 6, and the display can realize signal transmission with the second detector through the signal delivery module 6 to display the state information of the power module 7.

[0146] The embodiment also provides a conveying system, which comprises a conveying line 100 and the automatic cleaning device.

[0147] When the conveying line 100 needs to be cleaned, the automatic cleaning device is only placed on the conveying line 100 and turned on, so that the automatic cleaning device can perform online automatic cleaning on the conveying line 100 in the running process of the conveying line 100, which not only ensures the conveying efficiency and production capacity of the conveying line 100, but also saves the labor cost and improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0148] Compared with manual cleaning, the cleaning personnel is effectively prevented from being bumped and falling, and the risk of cleaning operation is reduced.

[0149] In specific implementation, the conveying line 100 can be a belt conveying line, a roller conveying line or the like.
